3. Niels Bohr’s Life
Born on October 7, 1885
In Copenhagen, Denmark
Father was a Professor of Physiology at Copenhagen University
My father sparked my interest of physics in my childhood
Home was filled with openness, and intelectuals
I also attended Copenhagen University and I obtained my doctorate in Physics in 1911
Spent my final years in Copenhagen after WWII and spent the rest of my life advocating the peaceful use of Nuclear energy.
“My interest in the study of physics was awakened while I was still in school, largely owing to the influence of my father.” Niels Bohr, 1922

4. Scientific Achievements
Bohr Model of Atomic Structure in 1913
Introduced the theory of electrons orbiting around atomic nucleus.
The theory stated that electrons were contained in quantized energy states, when they drop from one state to another, or when they jump from one orbit to another, energy is emitted. It was already known that atoms emit radiation, but this theory stated how it was done. The outer orbits contain more electrons than the inner ones, the outer orbits determine the atoms chemical properties. This theory became essential to quantum theory, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1922.
Experiments that I used were previous works by other scientists.
Used Ernest Rutherford’s previous findings of an atom’s positively charged nucleus, surrounded by negatively charged electrons and added his own theory into it. Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues performed the Gold Foil Experiment, which proved the existence of the atomic nucleus. This important experiment was what I based my work off of as I furthered the model of the atomic structure.

5. Bohr Model of Atomic Structure
The larger shells could hold more electrons. Each shell could hold electrons where n represents the shell number.

6. Scientific Achievements
Other Accomplishments
Theoretical description of periodic table in 1920
Theory of Atomic nucleus being a compound structure in 1936
Ideas of uranium fission in terms of the isotope 235 in 1939
Which lead to the project to make a nuclear fission bomb in 1943.

7. Bohr and Einstein Debates
A theory of the very large and the theory of the very small clashing.
“Not often in life has a human being caused me such joy by his mere presence as you did.“
-Albert Einstein 1920, in a letter to Bohr after a spirited debate
Niels Bohr
Albert Einstein
Quantum Theory: theory of the very small
Theory of Relativity: theory of the very large.
Critic of quantum theory
"God does not play dice with the universe”
"Einstein, stop telling God what to do!"

8. Contribution to Atomic Structure
Bohr pushes further the understanding of the atom.
Later came my model in 1913.
The larger shells could hold more electrons. Each shell could hold:
electrons where n represents the shell number.
This is Ernest Rutherford’s model of an atom which was made in 1911, the one I based my work off of.
Who knows what’s next? Maybe we will find little tiny people within these electrons, working them, who knows, the universe is a crazy place.
I wonder who created a better model of the atom.
The theory stated that electrons were contained in quantized energy states, when they drop from one state to another, or when they jump from one orbit to another, energy is emitted. It was already known that atoms emit radiation, but this theory stated how it was done. The outer orbits of electrons determine the atom’s chemical properties.
